Rhio O’Connor was diagnosed with a deadly cancer (mesothelioma) and given a year to live. Instead of giving up he found his own path to health and outlived his prognosis by more than six years. This path to health included creating his own treatment protocol which consisted of vitamins, minerals, vegetables and fruits components, essential fatty acids, amino acids, enzymes, herbs, a healthy (primarily vegetarian) diet and mind-body medicine. This protocol along with Rhio’s optimistic spirit, belief in something greater than himself, and the ability to make tough choices helped him beat his prognosis and live with a cancer considered “incurable” for many years.

Alternative therapies like the ones used by Rhio are considered highly controversial. Orthodox medicine reminds us that alternative therapies are untested and unproven. There is little regulation controlling their quality, potency or safety and just because it is natural doesn’t mean it is safe. In respect to cancer, they may provide false hope and cost the patient valuable time and money.

Alternative practitioners have a completely different perspective. They believe that alternative therapies are not tested and approved because they are naturally occurring and as such are difficult to patent. A pharmaceutical company will not invest the many millions of dollars in clinical testing to get FDA approval and bring an herb, vitamin or mineral to market because it cannot exercise a monopoly on its production, sale and pricing. Alternative practitioners point to the thousands of published animal and cell studies that demonstrate the efficacy and safety of various alternative approaches in cancer. Finally, alternative practitioners can describe many anecdotal reports of cancer patients gaining a benefit from alternative approaches (like Rhio) and also a long history of alternative cancer practitioners who were subject to government censorship.

Both sides would agree that cancer has become a national disgrace. On January 22, 1971 President Nixon declared a “war on cancer” during his state of the Union Address. Since then the National Cancer Institute has expended an estimated 100 billion dollars in its search for a cure. Over the same period, cancer has become the leading cause of death in this country for Americans under the age of 85.

Writing Prompt:

Please address some or all of the following questions:

Should cancer patients and doctors be able to use whatever treatments they like in treating cancer? Why?

What are some examples of “alternative therapies” and why do cancer patients use them when they are not FDA approved?

Should medicinal medicine and folk medicine have any relevancy in cancer?

It is estimated that it costs over $400 million to bring a new cancer drug to market. Does that establish roadblocks for the testing and approval of alternative therapies?

What changes or improvements should be made in our healthcare system and the way we treat cancer in this country so that cancer is no longer the leading cause of death in Americans under age 85?

Auto-Pets™ “Out-Of-The-Box-Thinking” Scholarship

Auto-Pets, a manufacturer and retailer of innovative pet products, most famously known for the Litter-Robot™ (the automatic self-cleaning litter box that really works), is proud to announce and sponsor its “Out-of-the-Box Thinking”scholarship. With one of its own flagship products originally conceptualized by an 8 year old, they certainly know the value of thinking differently, and that’s the essence of the 2015 scholarship opportunity.

With a grand prize of $1,500 and two runner-ups receiving $500 each, the innovation scholarship is running from May 15 – December 20, 2015. Winners will be announced December 31st, 2015, and be awarded scholarships in the following week for the Winter 2016 semester.

Unlike many scholarship opportunities, this will be open to any current student that will apply the scholarship to college credits. Whether in high school working toward paying first year’s tuition, or looking to attain a bachelor’s, a masters, a Ph.D., nursing degree or any other type of college program, applications from all students in the United States are welcome.

Scholarship Purpose

It’s pretty simple: An 8 year old girl conceptualized the product line, ‘Kitty Play Zone™’, while at daddy-daughter work day. She had an idea, and that idea turned into a reality, but only with a thorough implementation process.

The purpose of our scholarship is to get the younger demographic thinking differently about innovation, marketing and retail, specifically with regard to pet products. Whether an idea for a cat/dog feeder, or perhaps a unique point of sale retail concept, the scholarship is designed to push applicants to think differently. Coming up with an idea is one thing, but thinking through how it would work, what it would cost, who and how large the market is, how it would be marketed, and the way in which it would be retailed is a whole other story.

The Application (How To Apply)

Essay / Pitch Sheet – 350+ Words (recommended 500+)

Please write the essay, pitch or summary not only about a pet innovation idea, but also about how the idea was conceptualized. The idea itself is not enough to “win” the scholarship. Outline the thinking process, explain why it’s needed, how it’s marketed, the market it serves and more. It should include the following:

The Idea

Why The Product Is Needed

The Target Market

The Marketing Strategy

The Retail Strategy

Anything Else that will Help Sell the Idea

The Prizes

First Place: $1,500
Second Place: $500
Third Place: $500

Picking The Winner

The winners will not only be judged by their pet-related idea, but also on the thought process that led them to the idea in the first place. It is understood that not every idea is a “winning” or “novel” concept, so how the idea is explained, why the product is needed, what are the marketing strategies, who is the target market, and everything else included to demonstrate the thought process are important factors in the selection process.

Eligibility

Applicants must be a current student at any high school, accredited university, graduate school or equivalent (community college, 1 year program, other) within the U.S.

Applicants must submit a copy of their school verification (courses with your name, acceptance, transcript, or equivalent)
